Of course the Corps should be sued. If this
were any other real-world situation where the action or negligence of a
specific party. or parties, resulted in the loss of life and property, then
you can be certain that said party, or parties, would find themselves in
court in a second. Especially if there was documented proof of fault
implicating them. It is well documented that after the storm, further
inspection revealed that the corps drove the sheet piles (that ARE the flood
walls) much more shallow than they were supposed to, which led to the
floodwalls failing. It's simple cause and effect. Because they were not
deep enough, they failed. Because they failed, much life and property was
lost. The corps accepted the responsibility of building the levees, so they
accepted the responsible for any losses that occur which are a direct result
of that failure. It's really simple. Can you imagine if Shell had built
the levees? They would be ! paying already.
Trying to follow the logic of C. Robertson of Kenner, I can only deduce
from his earlier post that he is implying that the Saints are the reason the
levees failed. Well, not them personally, but all of the Saints fans for
sure. Because for forty years we have been spending too much money on, and
paying too much attention to, the Saints.
